He said that they made magic happen by collaborating with the entertainment industry and mobilizing the public that impacted thousands of businesses. He added that they were doing it again in a bigger way with The Big Concert for Small Business that would bring people together after Super Bowl LV to help the small businesses that were the heart of the American economy.
